Hi,

my operator provided me with menu options
if USSD *111# is sent.

What is a way to select submenu, by entering "0" or "1"
as USSD code ?
In cell phone it goes easy, by selecting "0" or "1" from cell keyboard.

Any idea how to select submenu from MSDA ?

Just type "0" or "1" in the USSD entry field and press enter or click 'Send USSD' button.

MDMA also allows you to enter commands in the form "*111#,1" which is equivalent to sending "*111#", waiting for a response, then sending "1".
 
On the MTN Network, menu short cuts work with out the comma as indicate above...

EG, Checking loyalty balance *141*9*2# the * indicate which option you would like.

But for the actualy question ask, certain phones have a reply button press that followed by the number you would like.

Thanks.
Finally started to work.
Generating *** bad USSD response received *** earlier.

I today can send *111#,1,1,0
to see menus and close session.

On close
*** bad USSD response received ***
message is generated

When I use double wait
*111#,1,1,,0
no error on session close is generated.
It looks like "," is not "," wait character from AT commands
and session terminates self on time out.

Tried to send this sequence from putty and failed.

thanks

That is correct, the "," is a special command to MDMA to wait for a response before sending the next command.

I'll add a check for a double "," in the next version, thanks. ;)
